The same is provided with a curtain in the usual way, also wit-l1 a tape, B, which is secured with one end to said roller, as plainly seen in the drawing, while the other end runs down in between and through rollers C C.

Said rollers C C are covered with gum-elastic, or

othel suitable material, for the purpose of impinging upon B.

The tape or cord is to be wound onv in contrary direction to the curtain, so that if the tape or oord is pulled down, the curtain will be wound up, and that if the curtain is pulled down, the tape or cord will be wound up. A

It will be observed that only one motion can be obtained by the working of the tape-the winding up ofV the curtain.
